The institution operates eight academic schools spanning Management & Economics, Science & Engineering, Humanities & Social Sciences, Data Science, Medicine, Music, Public Policy, and Artificial Intelligence, delivering undergraduate, master's, and doctoral programs to a global student body. It is supported by 160+ full-time faculty recruited internationally and an enrollment exceeding 1,000 master's students across eight MSc programs.

The university runs two major affiliated research platforms: the Shenzhen Institute of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics for Society (AIRS) and the Shenzhen Finance Institute (SFI). AIRS conducts frontier research in embodied AI, surgical and inspection robotics, microrobot swarm control, and federated learning, with publications in Science Robotics, IEEE Transactions on Robotics, and Advanced Materials, plus the open-source AIRS-EAI embodied AI framework hosted by The Linux Foundation and the AIRSPEED data production platform. SFI delivers nine master's-level finance programs (including Finance, Economics, Accounting, Data Science, Marketing, IMBA, Business Management, Finance EMBA, DBA), running a Career Development Center that places graduates at employers such as Tencent, DJI, Futu Securities, P&G, NetEase, and HuoLaLa, reporting a 98.2% employment rate and average starting salary of RMB 279,000 in 2024.

Revenue is generated through tuition for domestic and international students across undergraduate and graduate programs, government research grants, and ancillary university retail. The institution's GTM is hybrid: a sales-led admissions motion through official portals (admissions.cuhk.edu.cn, intladmissions.cuhk.edu.cn, pgapply.cuhk.edu.cn) plus an enterprise field-sales motion via CDC-operated campus recruitment, employer presentations, and company visits. Student life is anchored by a collegiate system of eight residential colleges, and the university has secured QS World University Ranking #18 globally (2027) for its parent brand, UTD Top 100 Business School Ranking #4 in Chinese mainland for SME (2021–2025), and ESI Global Top 1% in Economics & Business.
